Chris Bruch at Lawrimore Project.
The sculpture of Chris Bruch combines simple
materials like paper, plywood, wood strips, and even steel strapping in modular processes to arrive at economical and elegant forms. This
is about how exquisite craft can instill
simple forms with a living presence.

"Tom
DeGroot is not true to his materials. He makes corrugated cardboard look
like porcelain, spray paint and resin pooling in colored layers along
irregular surfaces. There's a cool urban edge to his timeless elegance, and
that's what gives it focus.
His work is about desire. No matter how long you look at it, it slides away
from you."

▪Eric Nelsen at Traver Gallery.
Dense assemblages of ceramic forms, referencing myth, the giants
of art, and the artist's personal symbols. The forms are meticulously
executed to have a kind of hyper-reality, a dense metaphor of life's
journey.
